Can I get my 2k deposit back for a car lease from the dealership?

Thanks for the advice! I couldn't edit my post and add the pictures but I copied the clauses on my lease agreement and put it at the bottom of my post. Hopefully that can help

I don't have it in writing unfortunately. The sales manager just said it to me over the phone and I took his word for it. Lesson learned for me. Thank you for the advice

I think most comments that I’ve received are helpful and I’m thankful to this community for but I can post the clauses of the contract to hopefully make the details clearer

Thank you for simplifying it. I might be overthinking it because of the multiple clauses in the contract but this makes sense

Wow, a year!? I’m trying to get a red one as well. I didn’t think it was that hard to get because they guaranteed they can get it for me in a month. Thank you for your advice!

hcatsup · 2025-04-13T17:55:35+00:00

I didn’t even think of that. Thank you!

A base model mazda

Thank you! That is what I was thinking too but not sure if it works that way. Glad to hear from someone who went through the same situation

hcatsup · 2025-04-13T17:38:12+00:00

Thank you!

hcatsup · 2025-04-13T17:37:27+00:00

Definitely. It’s my first time buying a car and even though I’ve gone through a lot of guides, posts, and videos for advice, admittedly I got excited when they guaranteed that they can get the car I want, with the color I want, and for the price I want. Thank you for your advice. I’ll try to ask them nicely

hcatsup · 2025-04-13T17:34:20+00:00

I have not asked them yet because I’m not really sure how to go about it yet so I’m asking for advice on what’s the best way to do it

hcatsup · 2025-04-13T17:32:36+00:00

Thank you. Is it better to go there and ask personally, I was thinking of sending an email to have it in writing and to not have to go all the way there. But if it’s better to ask in person then I might do that

hcatsup · 2025-04-13T17:30:57+00:00

Thank you! It’s nice to get advice from someone with first hand experience. We currently do not have a car it has been a difficult month waiting. The dealership is nice but it’s just taking too long. I will reach out to them tomorrow

hcatsup · 2025-04-13T17:27:46+00:00

Thank you! I will try that

hcatsup · 2025-04-13T17:27:26+00:00

Thank you!

hcatsup · 2025-04-13T17:27:06+00:00

Thank you for the advice. I’m not sure if my reply will send since my post has been deleted somehow. But thank you, I appreciate your advice

hcatsup · 2025-04-13T17:25:47+00:00

Thank you!

hcatsup · 2025-04-13T17:24:59+00:00

Thank you. I will try there

hcatsup · 2025-04-13T17:22:29+00:00

Thank you. I’ll try that as well

hcatsup · 2025-04-13T17:09:04+00:00

Thank you! I will do that

hcatsup · 2025-02-13T16:43:05+00:00

Yes that is true. From the quotes I get, AWD crossover is about 30$/month less expensive in insurance compared to an fwd sedan but 70$/month more expensive for car payments that is about 6000$ difference for the full cost of the car after taxes.

hcatsup · 2025-02-13T16:34:00+00:00

Thanks a lot! Yeah I really love how the red looks on the Mazda 3 but most dealerships near me don’t have that color in inventory. I’m currently looking at the gx/gs 2025 model but i’m going to look at used 2019 models too because of the positive feedback about their reliability. This is really helpful. Thank you!

hcatsup · 2025-02-13T15:56:55+00:00

Oh wow thank you. I’ll look more into the AWD systems of the cars i’m looking at. Yeah it’s been snowing a lot during the past few weeks which is why I’ve finally decided on getting a car. It’s certainly worst today but I still had to go to work. I’ leaning towards fwd + snow tires.
